Poor choice of words for the title considering who I was shooting tonight. I got to do a wicked concert with Killswitch Engage and Slipknot..the latter being one of the biggest heavy metal groups in the world.

I've got tons of pictures, I rented a 70-200L F2.8 and I think I found my first child...I love it. I can't post them..if someone wants to volunteer to post, I can email some to you.

Thanks!

L

P.S. Dreams do come true....I actually got groped and hugged by Slipknot on stage. I've never had 10,000 people jealous of me. lol.

Jealous of me getting to TOUCH Slipknot :-) Not of ME persay. hahaha

P.S> I sent Sparkly some shots to post. There's not many (or any???) front-on shots since there were just way too many security guards...and the crowd kept breaking out into riots so I got pushed back by the guards all the time. It was really hard to get infront of the singer..the few times I did I ended up getting pushed and the shots are all blurry.

I see a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens in your future! ;)

Yea it'd be pretty sweet. At first, I picked it up and immediately thought "waaayyyy too heavy" but I didn't notice it once I started shooting.

Thanks for posting a link Sparkly, those shots are all unedited for the most part so they're a bit weak (also they came from an email so ya know, poor quality). Or maybe I'm just making excuses. lol

How are your ears?? still humming

Haha yeah, they're known for their scary-ass costumes. The one guy that kept grabbing me was covered in blood .. .I was afraid it was going to drip into my rented lens.

I didn't wear ear plugs and the other photographer thought I was crazy. I thought about bringing some, but I'm a huge music fan and would've paid to be upfront (sans earplugs) anyway. Plus, I was sort of squeezed behind the stacks so my ears only rang for about 5 minutes when I went to bed.
